acquainted with the high character of
Johnsen's Cyclopedia for several years;
but having in use the latest edition Of
Chambers and Appletpn's, | have re-
Trained from exchanging the latter for
it until recently. Its superiority to any
work of the KIND with which l am ac-
quainted is conspicuously manifested
after brief examination. I am amazed
at its comprehensiveness and complete.
ness. 1t is an admirable epitome of the
knowledge of all past ages until now,
and can heartily endorse the words of
the faculty Of Yale College. .'lt is prac-
tically a geographical gazetteer, a BIZ
ographical dictionary, y medical and Ie-
gal manual. The nameof its editor-in-

the present time and the illustrations,
especially of scientific objects, greatly
enhance the intrinsic value Of the
work. [ cannot but regard Johnson's
Cyclop@dia as far more valuable as a
wise instructor for a family, or for per-
sons in any pursuit, than any average
